Four women at Rutgers sum it up and sing it out. I'll let them speak for themselves, because they're just about as articulate on this as anybody I've ever seen.  

"Why so many damn rape poems?

We wouldn't need so many damn "rape poems"

if America had listened the first time.

These poems are our prayers
to beat the fucking odds in this country
of apple pie and roofies.

We wouldn't need so many damn rape poems 
if our bodies were ours' alone.

We wouldn't need so many damn rape poems
if everyone abided by what "no" meant

We wouldn't need so many damn rape poems
if Budweiser stopped selling our bodies stretched across a six-pack

And maybe we wouldn't need so many damn rape poems if everyone would

listen to this one."

-Justice Hehir, Lindsey Michelle Williams, Kate Thomas, and Lillie Hannon.
